User Roles Dashboard

Purpose

Explain what each SimboConnect user role can access, when to use each role, and how to choose the correct role when creating a new user.

Overview

SimboConnect is an AI Phone Copilot for front office teams. Users sign in to a dashboard where access is controlled by roles. There are three roles:

• Admin

• Front Desk

• Staff

Each role controls what the user can see and do in the product.

Role Details

Admin

Best for: Practice owners, operations leaders, and trusted IT leads.

What they can see:

Everything. All calls, all text messages, all resolved calls, and the full Admin portal.

What they can do from the Admin portal:

• Change organization settings

• Configure Co-pilot settings

• Create and update workflows

• Manage on-call schedules

• Access analytics and reporting

• Perform other administrative tasks

When to assign:

Assign Admin only to a small group that must control settings, compliance, and reporting across the entire organization.

Front Desk

Best for: Receptionists and front office coordinators who handle day-to-day communications.

What they can see:

• Call Work List with every call, whether assigned to them, assigned to someone else, or unassigned

• All text messages

• Resolved calls list

What they can do:

Work through inbound and outbound tasks, triage unassigned items, and keep the queue clean. They do not have access to Admin portal features.

When to assign:

Assign Front Desk to team members responsible for monitoring all patient communications and distributing work.

Staff

Best for: Individual providers and team members who should only see their own workload.

What they can see:

• Only calls and SMS that are assigned to them

• Resolved calls list

What they can do:

Respond to and close out their assigned items. They do not see items assigned to others and do not have access to Admin features.

When to assign:

Assign Staff to clinicians and specialists who should focus on their own tasks without exposure to the full queue.

How to Choose the Right Role When Creating a User

Use this quick decision guide during user creation:

1. Does this person need to change settings or view organization-wide reports?

   • Yes → Admin

   • No → Go to step 2

2. Should this person see and manage the entire communications queue for the practice?

   • Yes → Front Desk

   • No → Go to step 3

3. Should this person only see items assigned to them?

   • Yes → Staff

   • No → Reassess responsibilities. Most non-admin users should be Front Desk or Staff.

Typical Assignments

• Practice Manager or Owner: Admin

• Lead Receptionist: Front Desk

• Reception Team Member: Front Desk

• Doctor, Nurse, or Provider: Staff

• Contractor or Temp Provider: Staff

Changing Roles Later

Only an Admin should change a user’s role. If responsibilities change, update the role from the Admin portal in the user management area. Changes take effect on the next login or page refresh.

Security and Privacy Notes

• Follow least-privilege access. Give the lowest role that still lets the person do the job.

• Keep Admin access limited and reviewed on a regular schedule.

• Remove or downgrade access when staff leave a team or change responsibilities.

Tips and Good Practices

• Start new users as Staff unless they clearly need broader access.

• Keep the number of Admin users small and documented.

• Use Front Desk for anyone who must watch and work the full queue throughout the day.

• Review user roles monthly or during staff changes.

• Encourage Staff users to close or hand off items quickly so Front Desk can maintain a clean Call Work List.

• Periodically check the resolved calls list to ensure quality and correct routing.
